Cloud Driven

The cloud technology will play a key role in mobile app development in 2015. With the upsurge in the usage of multiple mobile devices and wearable tech, app developers will have to focus on the ability to integrate and sync their apps on multiple devices. The cloud approach will enable developers to build their applications that can be accessed on multiple devices with same functions, features and data. At July, we have an award winning cloud based app development platform to help our customers build mobile apps that can be accessed on multiple devices with same functionality and content. The platform helps them create apps rapidly without any technical knowledge.

App Security

There were numerous reports related to hacking and information leaks in 2014. As per our prediction, 75% of mobile applications will fail basic security tests in 2016. The hackers will continue to exploit security gaps in mobile applications to crack sensitive information. Security remains a big challenge on mobile devices. Key point, mobile app security is something developers need to seriously act upon in 2015.

M-commerce, Banking and Mobile Payments

According to e-Marketer, 19% of retail ecommerce sales in 2014 will be made on a smartphone or tablet. Various analysts believe this positive trend will continue over the next 4 years as more and more consumers adapt to m-commerce. Using a mobile phone to pay or purchase instead of debit or credit cards will also become more common in 2015 with Apple Pay and Google Wallet. This will allow developers to build mobile apps that can process transactions without the need of physical debit/credit cards or cash.

User Experience First

User experience will lead technology in 2015. With the increasing number of smartphones, tablets and wearable devices, the app user experience will be more critical than ever. With more focus on in-app advertising and purchasing mobile app user experience will be more challenging. Analytics data will play a major role in helping app developers create better user experiences.

and then App Marketing

Mobile App marketing techniques continue to evolve each year. In 2014, the app marketers were more focused on user engagement than user acquisition. With user engagement in focus, more and more marketers and developers have started to realize the importance of organic users as these users were more loyal and engaged than the users acquired through other paid channels.

App Store Optimization will continue to be a key factor in making an app successful in 2015. With Beacon and Location based wifi services, marketers will now have ease to be more targeted based on the user’s location and promote their apps with other offers.

As one of the leading mobile app developers, we’re all prepped and excited for what’s coming in the New Year. We will be taking a deep dive into all these trends in our blog posts in the coming year.
